ok, so I'm wondering, what is considered a "correct" camel spin position? Right now, I get about 2 revolutions regularly, up to 4-5 revolutions occasionally when I hit it right, doing what I think is considered a standard camel position aka shoulders/chest mostly parallel with the ice and arms back but still out to the side of the body. AKA the way this guy does his camel spins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dLvRw8peYA
But then you'll see people who slant their body more sideways, or clasp their hands behind their back while doing a camel, or rest their left hand on their left leg while spinning! Are these more advanced versions that just happen once you've really mastered a camel? Or are these something else? Can everyone learn them or do we all have our own special "balance point" or "position" that we have to stick to? A lot of the advice on getting camel spins to be better, aka faster and more rotations etc, seems to be "everyone is different, you just have to try different things until you find the perfect entrance and body position while spinning."
Personally I really like the way the spin looks when the left hand is resting on the left leg OR they've got their hands clasped behind their back.
